    Great video. So many rabbit holes! Here in my country Orient still make LCD watches, just not under their own brand. I have a few of them, they are branded X Games and Lince. And at least in my X Games watches that I opened up, the module was marked as Ricoh.

      @@IlluminatingWatches It's the bigger channels that reap the audience, and usually they take from your channel with ideas... just don't go buying views and subs, this leads to being dishonest with yourself, plus you can have the channel removed... seen a few channels grow very quickly, but certain things don't make sense, but if that's how they want to go forward, then they're not in it for the viewers so much, more about making money and being popular... Just enjoy it and the real viewers will come, you will get better what you do, so don't watch your early videos, especially mine, as it's just you getting to grips... you'll get better and better within your own limits, but never look at other big channels and get envious, they're not getting much pudding at home I swear LML :-P I'm a tiny channel, I'm an amateur and I do have a life, so you have to find points where to cut off, otherwise you'll be digging around through bigger channels wondering how they do it, and it's usually because they get sponsored, or review junk and lie to the viewers just to get free watches and a percentage of the deal... fair game if that's what anyone likes, but I have decided that this is my channel, and view the things I like and interest me. If you feel you're boring, then revamp yourself and create the channel like how you are in life, and really enjoy it. I really make my videos too long, but I like the details and tutorials and this can't be rushed... I get many emails asking to review watches of the micro brand, and to be honest, unless it's something very cool, I can't be bothered to blah blah over something that I would never wear or buy. Running a channel as an amateur on low views is how you start, and it takes time... this is my second time around, as TH-cam removed my old channel over nothing, just an Aprils's fools video, but was lucky to have nearly 8000 subs which soon found me, plus some other channels that noticed and gave me a mention to say I'm back, thus why I have over 7k subs in a little time. My older videos show the age, and luckily I had those saved elsewhere, otherwise I lost about 150 videos!
      I'm no expert, but if I can give you a mention just to push a few your way, it's a start, but am only doing this as your content is really good :))

    On the note of other modern digital watches I picked up the Seiko digi tuna when they came out. Super cool watch and far tougher than any of the reviews suggested it would be, its my go to abuse watch and has seen shock, scratches, abrasives, adhesives, solvents, paint, extreme temp, and shrugged it all off. the resin case has held up better than the hardlex crystal has.

    • @IlluminatingWatches
      @IlluminatingWatches  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The sheer nostalgia of the Timex Ironman triathlon (my first watch) and the coolness of the space link of the datalink range means I maintain a soft spot for them. They do make a lot of rubbish as well though!
